Those loyal to the late Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet, gathered Sunday in Santiago for the screening of a new film casting him as a national hero. It was the largest gathering of Pinochet supporters since his death in 2006. Meantime, police clashed with anti-Pinochet demonstrators outside. The World’s Alex Gallafent was there and discusses what happened with anchor Lisa Mullins.
